Virtual Piano

Version: 1.5
by: Trololol [More]

Virtual piano is what it says it is; an 88 key virtual piano. For World of Warcraft. With quite a few more features you'd not expect to find on just a piano.

Video preview of the addon is here

Yes, you can use your mouse. You can use your keyboard. You can play live with friends. You can play back midi files. You can even use a midi keyboard if you use third party tools like Bome's Midi Translator. It has playlist and shuffling and playback controls.

Have a non qwerty keyboard, don't like the default binds, or want to play a specific song?
Create your own keybind profile by typing "/vp create *ProfileName*" and select your profile on the top right and side of the piano. Start binding by clicking Options and ticking "Open Keybind Window".

Want to play with your friends?
Get your friend to download this addon and head over to the options menu by typing /vp config (or clicking options on the piano) Enable one (or more) of the Broadcast communication channels and the Receive from communication channels.

Want to use your own midi files?
Get the MIDI parser for Virtual Piano to play your midi files here

Want to try out some playlists?
Download Virtual Piano - Video Games (22 songs in 2 playlists) here
Download Virtual Piano - Yiruma (35 songs in 1 playlist) here

Want to record and play back your recordings?
Click Options and click "Open Script Window", and then press Record to record.

Want to send a recording/song to someone else so they can hear it?
Make sure you have at least one "Broadcast to player/guild/party/raid" option selected
Likewise, make sure your friend has the same Receiving option selected.
Paste in a script in the script window by clicking Options, and click "Open Script Window".
If you want to send your recording to someone else, click the Export button so that the text box fills up with your recording.
If you want to send a midi file, use the MIDI parser, paste in to the script window and click "Send Script"


Features:

  • NEW: Midi player! Using the tool here, you can play your own midi files ingame!
  • A fully featured 88 key piano with the same key bindings as the website virtualpiano.net (that has a user base of 8 million)
  • Has no input lag
  • Fully featured recording and playback support, allowing you to also send your recordings and scripts to friends
  • Additional keybinds to the default keys (such as "[", "]", "\", delete key, backspace, minus, equals, tab, caps lock, etc)
  • Multiplayer piano: includes broadcasting for party, whisper, guild and raid. Theoretically, you could have your whole guild or raid playing together on a single piano.
  • Mouse support: you can click on the keys to play them. Unlike virtualpiano.net, the sound does not go off once you let go your mouse, and also plays instantly once you click on the key.
  • Holding down keys won't result in the keys being spammed like virtualpiano.net
  • A scale for scaling the size of the piano
  • Dim button for hiding out everything else
  • Addon sounds only button for muting out all sounds so you can just hear the piano
  • Low memory footprint

Notes: Midi/script/recording playback will play smoother the higher the frames per second of the game (this is because the playback script updates on every frame).
World of Warcraft has a limit on the number of sounds played at the same time. I suggest keeping your sounds settings to High (64)
